POLICE have made a total of nine arrests over two days since closing down a cannabis farm in a disused bar building in Warrington town centre.
A total of 720 cannabis plants had been seized from the premises on Barbauld Street.
Since uncovering the large-scale cannabis farm during a Warrant on Tuesday police have now arrested nine individuals in the past 2 days for entering (or trying to) the property.
One of the officers involved said: “I would just like to point out to any would-be horticulturists that at any of our Warrants we take ALL drugs and equipment. So please don’t try your hand at burglary.
“Where it can be repurposed and donated to legitimate charities we do – but you won’t be getting any supplies for your next cannabis farm here!”
On Tuesday police issued an appeal for information regarding the cannabis farm.
